The race to the podium just got a little spicier.
The nominations for the 2008 ALMA Awards, honoring Latinos’ contribution to entertainment, were announced today, and while Eva Longoria Parker will once again be pulling double duty as ceremony host and executive producer, she was surprisingly absent from the list of contenders, failing to score a nomination for her performance on Desperate Housewives.
The snub is unlikely to put a damper on the celebration, however, as plenty of other big-name contenders did get an early morning name check, including the cast of Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy’s Sara Ramirez, Lost’s Jorge Garcia, Scrubs’ Judy Reyes, The Office’s Oscar Nuñez , Battlestar Galactica’s Edward James Olmos and Longoria’s Housewives costar Ricardo Chavira.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony also made the cut, albeit not individually, as their costarring biopic, El Cantante, is up for Outstanding Performance of a Lead Latino/a Cast in a Motion Picture.
Ugly Betty, meanwhile, is set to take home the Special Achievement Award for a Latino/a-led TV ensemble.
